Re: FAT+ now powers itself on.

I think this is a bug as described in the thread linked above.

 

I notice it when I turn off device - I am using the harmony remote so it goes through and powers off that and powers up/changes other inputs, etc. 

 

Anyway, after I switch to, say, watch TV whenever I hit channel up (or maybe its the dvr button) the FAT+ turns back on.  I also have the same experience that when it goes off the second time it stays off.

 

It's probably related to the FAT+ receiving an IR remote code that turns it on, and it's probably more than just it's own off/on "frequency".

 

I don't believe there is a solution, alot of things have been tried.


I don't believe it is the remote itself. If I hid the remote, it still occurred. I haven't had this issue for several months though and I don't know how it resolved itself. Just a gut feeling but I think it was another piece of equipment. Just like the handyguy22, it didn't power back on after powering it off twice.

Unpluged it, plugged it in-did not change

 

Pushed Reset button for 5 seconds-power stayed off. But used it a few hours later  & the power went on by itself again.

 

I ordered another one  I'll see if it does it too.

Re: FAT+ now powers itself on.

Got a new one, didn't up firmware, stays off when turned off... Must be a firmware thing.
